The
piano.
The piano is a
musical instrument played by means of a keyboard that
produces sound by striking steel strings with felt hammers.
The hammers immediately rebound allowing the strings to
continue vibrating at their resonant frequency. These
vibrations are transmitted through a bridge to a soundboard
that amplifies them.
The piano is widely used in Western music for solo performance,
chamber music, and accompaniment. It is also very popular
as an aid to composing and rehearsal. Although not portable
and often expensive, the piano's versatility and ubiquity
have made it one of the most familiar musical instruments.
It is sometimes classified as both a percussion and a
stringed instrument (in a loose sense of that term). According
to the Hornbostel-Sachs method of music classification,
it is grouped with Chordophones.
The word piano is a shortened form of the word pianoforte,
which is seldom used except in formal language and derived
from the original Italian name for the instrument, clavicembalo
[or gravicembalo] col piano e forte (literally harpsichord
with soft and loud). This refers to the instrument's responsiveness
to keyboard touch, which allows the pianist to produce
notes at different dynamic levels by controlling the speed
with which the hammers hit the strings... |
